Reporting from New Orleans quotes Attorney General Holder as having made up his mind on the insidious nature of Voter ID laws. Remarkably, he is openly disagreeing with the law of the land and the Supreme Court holding in the Indiana photo ID case as his Department of Justice openly interferes with state implementation of photo ID laws.
Any bets on how long it takes before Holder invokes the memory of “Jim Crow.” He is now accusing the vast majority of the country of mocking equal access and suppressing the vote. And to top it off, he is questioning the motives of those passing the laws despite not one scintilla of evidence to support his claim. Behold, this is the chief law enforcement official in the nation.
New state voter identification laws “too often appear to make a
mockery” of equal access to the polls, the nation’s top law enforcer
said Friday in an address at Tulane Law School, vowing to continue
federal opposition to efforts to suppress voting.
…“We must remain ever vigilant in protecting this most basic and important right,” Holder said.
“The need for photo ID is a solution in search of a problem,” Holder
said, noting that in-person voting fraud is rare. “I have questions,
very frankly, about some of the motives for the institution of these
laws.”
